1. Taking extra baggage

1.1 When booking a flight, when checking in online and via My Trip, KLM offers the possibility of taking extra pieces of baggage above the baggage allowance at an extra fee, on the basis of the conditions of your ticket.

1.2 Please note that when departing from some airports, it is not possible to arrange extra baggage on KLM.com. In that case, please go to the desk at the airport to arrange extra baggage.

2. Conditions applying to pre-purchased extra baggage

2.1 The pre-purchased extra baggage should be used in combination with the ticket you bought the extra baggage for when checking in online. The pre-purchased extra baggage is personal and non-transferable.

2.2 The pre-purchased extra baggage is valid for a one-way journey (outbound or return journey) to the place of the stopover or the final destination, and exclusively for flights with KLM.

2.3 KLM’s General Conditions of Carriage are an integral part of these conditions.

2.4 You are required to ensure that all the information you provide when making your reservation and purchasing the pre-purchased extra baggage is complete.

3. Refund

3.1 You are entitled to a refund of the specific costs of your pre-purchased extra baggage, if:

(I) KLM is unable to operate your flight, or
(II) the baggage for which you have bought the pre-purchased extra baggage allowance is lost and is not found within a reasonable length of time.

3.2 You are not entitled to a refund if you decide to cancel your flight or take less baggage with you than you are entitled to on the basis of your pre-purchased extra baggage. If you decide to take more baggage than the total allowance, including the pre-purchased extra baggage, you pay the normal excess baggage fee for the excess amount.

3.3 If you are able to change your flight on the grounds of the fee conditions applicable to your ticket, then your pre-purchased extra baggage allowance will remain valid in combination with your amended ticket.
